Hi Rejoice! Do you have to go to school in person to put DS on waiting list? I was told by the staff of CHS that I can only put on the waiting list after Aug 30th! Arghh :? :?

Hi gingerbread,
I dun think we stand very good chances w CHS despite being <1km away... they told Bigfoot before that PVs will be first on waiting list... plus we didn't even brave the 2 ballotings like Rejoice...

Anyways for those of us parents who didnt get into the schools of our choices in Bishan and GY is the next alternative. I did some research and came across this article on GY. Its really amazing how difficult it is to find feedback on this school.

Well hope it helps.

Thanks for the info. I will register my child there under phase3.

Hi juan
Why dun you try Canossa Convent Primary instead of GY? It still has abt 20 places for Phase 3. GY has 112 places. In my opinion, your gal will do better at a convent. My fren's girl is there (via P2CS) and has no complaints.

I'm just curious on your post. Is there any negative feedback about Guangyang Primary?

Hi Cherrygal,

No feedback from any parent abt GY... that's the worrying part. Dunno why but after all the phases, they only managed to fill one class. What do you read of a school still having 112 places at Phase 3? I know of Bishan parents who would rather go to the schools in AMK at Phase 2CS than apply for this school. I really dunno why but we can only interpret so much. As for Juan's girl, I am always an advocate for convent education if there's no better choice.
